There's the Dylan Covey we knew and loved when he first got here!
(But it still doesn't really matter. Shame they might have to waste another arm though after already using Strahm.)
Get Covey out of there now. He should have been gone after the second walk.
Get him out NOW.
Why didn't they let Strahm pitch a second inning? Thought it would be good to use Covey for an easy inning.
Tell me Covey goes on the IL tomorrow. They seem determined to keep him on the roster, so an IL stint gets him off the current active roster at least.

Or they could just keep him because he's been good and merely had a bad game with the luxury of an eight-run lead that did not get close to being blown. The epitome of a mop-up guy's job, to pitch in meaningless situations and save other arms. It's just that he was being used in tighter situations recently (and deservedly).
They kept him over Vasquez, they kept him over optioning Marte (who probably has better stuff but can't pitch consistently), they kept him over Ortiz. It's not just because he can't be optioned, they like him.
The hardest hit ball was the double play. Covey didn't get hit around. That can happen to any pitcher. He made his own trouble with the 2 walks and a HBP. It is true that he has not been terrible in most of his outings.
Win goes to Nola and it was well earned. He gave the team a solid start. Nola is a workhorse in the rotation and his 7 innings sure help the bullpen.
The offense built up a nice lead so even the Covey miserable performance in the ninth didn't cost them.
Great to win the first game of the series. Now to win the second game. Phillies need to put some wins back to back.
So was that really a home run? Seems like the OF mishandled the ball twice though maybe Bryce was scoring anyway.
(No one will like this, but it should have been scored a triple and an error.)

I missed it live and only just watched it a couple of more times.
It's also interesting that inside-the-park home runs even count as home runs. I mean, yeah, you still have to hit the ball pretty far and hard in a different way but if you look at a player's season HR totals you are going to assume they all left the yard.
